Moving the new undocumented out of Guantanamo? UPDATED

Rumor has it that as quickly as the new gulag went up at Guantanamo it has now been closed down. I will have more tomorrow on this latest news. 

And I will have my educated speculation as to why. 

My educated guess is on hold while I figure out exactly what is going on here. According to The Hill the military moved the men being held to Honduras and they were then picked up by the government of Venezuela. read more here.

So whether this is a permanent stop to housing undocumented people at Guantanamo needs to be figured out. If it turns out that this is a permanent stop to using Guantanamo to house individuals picked up in the US and determined (rightly or wrongly) to be undocumented I will share my theory on why that is. But it is too soon right now to say what is going on.


No surprise here

 The Guardian is reporting that the corporation in charge of running the latest gulag out of Guantanamo- this one for undocumented, or maybe undocumented people- found in  the U.S., has a history of complaints for violating the civil rights of undocumented people it is holding here in the US and for housing the people in substandard conditions. 

I feel like these complaints must have been a plus for that company getting this contract from the trump administration! cruelty is the point.
